Legend Zero Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I decided to take a glance in the Intro section and noticed.....That 90% over the people who post, post the same thing to everyone. Isn't that against the rules? (or was) Anyway, I just find it annoying how people even bother to post an emotionless welcome and essentially get a +1. Is it really that hard to come up with an original way to say welcome? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefman Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I don't think newbs should be welcomed by heartless robots. I don't think the problem is too big, I mean, it's just welcoming someone, but if people continue to copy and paste all their posts, there may as well not even be an introductions section. And the fact that it gets +1 makes it spam. If you're gathering supporters for there to be some sort of discipline put into commenters there, I support.

It is annoying because I once saw a 6-star member with all their posts in introductions and joined the day before, which is honestly kind of pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I agree, nobody in their right mind would say that stars, titles, points, reps, or any label (be it real life or not) mean anything. It's all good to think yourself apart from others, but using that difference to compare yourself to others. None of this has to do with the topic at hand, though. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefman Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 You know, War Chess was an excellent example of this.Not the 6 stars in 2 days thing (because 1. If he posted 5000 times then they had to be on different threads and 2. that means that most of them would be necrobumping old ones), but the trolling the intros section.

CrabHelmet Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 The problem is that every new member who comes to Introductions is basically the same, so there's no incentive to come up with something original. The other problem is that Introductions still counts for post count because YCMaker is an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
